Abstract

Spin-physics projects at J-PARC are explained by including future possibilities. J-PARC is the most-intense hadron-beam facility in the high-energy region above multi-GeV, and spin physics will be investigated by using secondary beams of kaons, pions, neutrinos, muons, and antiproton as well as the primary-beam proton. In particle physics, spin topics are on muon $g-2$, muon and neutron electric dipole moments, and time-reversal violation experiment in a kaon decay. Here, we focus more on hadron-spin physics as for future projects. For example, generalized parton distributions (GPDs) could be investigated by using pion and proton beams, whereas they are studied by the virtual Compton scattering at lepton facilities. The GPDs are key quantities for determining the three-dimensional picture of hadrons and for finding the origin of the nucleon spin including partonic orbital-angular-momentum contributions. In addition, polarized parton distributions and various hadron spin topics should be possible by using the high-momentum beamline. The strangeness contribution to the nucleon spin could be also investigated in principle with the neutrino beam with a near detector facility.

Controlling Quantum discord and steering in Electron-Positron Annihilation Using Polarized Beams

Quantum discord and steering offer crucial insights into the non-classical nature of hyperon-antihyperon pairs, a massive two-qubit system produced in high energy electron-positron annihilation. This work theoretically investigates the generation and control of these quantum correlations by leveraging longitudinal and transverse polarization of lepton beams. By exploiting the joint spin density matrix of hyperon pairs, the sensitivity of quantum discord and steering to the beam polarization degree are numerically quantified. Our analysis reveals distinct angular regimes where beam polarization can enhance steering and discord. Hierarchy of different quantum correlations are examined under the case of polarized lepton beams by constructing a measure in the spirit of entanglement of formation. It is confirmed that quantum discord remain non-zero even in regions with vanishing entanglement corresponding to separable states, controlled via transversely polarized beams. As an experimentally tunable parameter, beam polarization offers an effective means to manipulate the quantum correlation of hyperon-antihyperon systems, thereby providing a practical route for preparing and probing quantum states in high-energy particle physics.

Three-particle di-light-cone distribution amplitudes of the $B$-meson in heavy-quark effective theory

We present a systematic study of the three-particle di-light-cone distribution amplitudes (DLCDAs) of the $B$-meson. They are defined through $B$-meson--to--vacuum matrix elements of trilocal HQET operators, in which the light antiquark and the gluon field-strength tensor are located on two back-to-back light rays. In this sense, the DLCDAs generalise the conventional $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes to configurations where soft fields couple to collinear degrees of freedom in two distinct directions. As such, they parametrise the non-perturbative dynamics associated with non-factorisable soft-gluon contributions in rare and non-leptonic exclusive $B$-meson decays. We derive the complete Lorentz decomposition of the matrix elements of generic trilocal operators, identify eight independent DLCDAs, and organise them in a basis of definite twist. Using local operator identities and equations-of-motion constraints, we obtain tree-level relations for their normalisation integrals and first moments in terms of a minimal set of hadronic parameters. These relations allow us to construct simple momentum-space models for all independent DLCDAs. For the leading-twist distribution, we further incorporate the perturbative radiative tail at order $α_s$ and discuss its impact on the resulting parametrisation.

Anatomy of the Quasi-PDF with a Transverse-Momentum Cutoff

The quasi-PDF is fundamentally different from the light-cone PDF, and large-momentum effective theory relates the two through perturbative matching. This has required considerable effort. One of the difficulties in matching is that no single renormalization scheme has been agreed upon for the quasi-PDF, and the resulting variety of prescriptions can obscure the physics underlying the matching. We study how the choice of scheme affects the renormalized quasi-PDF and the matching coefficient, and how the two are related, aiming to identify a scheme in which this dependence becomes transparent. As a first attempt, we consider the transverse-momentum cutoff scheme. It is not used in practice, since a hard momentum cutoff breaks Lorentz invariance, and it has generally been treated as an illustrative example exhibiting the linear divergence of the spatial Wilson line. A careful study, however, reveals a richer structure than expected. The ultraviolet divergence in this scheme depends not only on the cutoff itself, but also on an independent divergence associated with the momentum fraction of the quasi-PDF. Disentangling these two ultraviolet structures, and following the disentangling through the explicit one-loop calculation, uncovers further structure along the way. Once the ultraviolet contributions are correctly separated and assigned to the renormalization counterterm, a finite ambiguity remains, and we use it to restore the quark-number conservation broken by the cutoff. The resulting renormalized quasi-PDF and matching coefficient can be meaningfully compared with the result obtained in dimensional regularization, and we show how the two are reconciled.
